“PAF Over the Years,” a pictorial collection depicting the history of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), will be launched Monday (August 06, 2007) at the PAF Museum, Faisal.

The paintings in the book are by Group Captain Syed Masood Akhtar Hussaini — the official Military Aviation Artist of the PAF. This is the fourth full-colour volume of his paintings.Date: August 06, 2007 (Monday).Time: 09:00 p.m.Dress code: Smart casual (whatever THAT means! :P)

The book launch is invitation-only, however.

PS: I’ll update this post with a review of the book after I get it on Monday (the book, that is).

That may perhaps mean no shalvar Qameez. And, I don’t blame anyone for banning this most unprofessional of clothes. Granted: they are better than typical desi dhotee.

Shalvar Qameez should essentially be banned in public places for both, men and women.

the women who prefer to stick to desi clothes should be given emergency instructions on tying saarees. Extremely bad figured Pakistani women who ate too many halvah pooris should be allowed to stick to their bholu pehelvaan type shalvars after applying for a permit.

Otherwise, both men and women in PK should be required to wear trousers and shirts in business setting. May be, under special permits, pyjamas with straight legs. But, Shalvars should be completely banned from business places. Anyone who prefers shalvars is welcome to apply for Afghanistan citizenship. Go ahead and join your taliban buddies there.

There will be an additional benefit of prohibiting men from wearing shalvar in public. Pants provide less freedom and will discourage men from handling themselves in public under their long qameezes (a disgusting Pakistani habbit). No, wearing pants won’t stop men from picking their nose in public…but that could be the next project.
